Oral sex -conception: The presence of saliva (acidic) would degrade sperm. Saliva would wash sperm down through the digestive system. Men's Health article (https://www.menshealth.com.au/how-long-sperm-can-live-outside-the-body#:~:text=%E2%80%9CIn%20theory%2C%20it's%20100%20percent,with%20a%20person%20until%20Tuesday. states it can theoretically happen. Theoretically can be different from actually occurs.
